I'm looking to upgrade my gaming rig and need some advice. I enjoy playing a variety of games like Helldivers 2 and Elden Ring, and I'm planning to dive into titles like Cyberpunk, God of War, and Doom. At Microcenter, I've found some bundles featuring the 7800x3d and the 7600x3d. Given these options, which combination should I go for: the 9070xt paired with the 7800x3d or the 5070 ti with the 7600x3d?

Honestly, I would choose the 7600x3d with the 5070ti. The 5070ti has better support for newer games with features like ray tracing and upscaling, which is becoming key. Plus, if you're gaming at 1440p or more, the CPU won’t hold you back. Just keep in mind that having at least an 8-core CPU could be important for future games.
If you're deciding between the two, I'd recommend going for the 9070xt and 7800x3d. The combo just makes more sense in terms of overall performance, especially if you're planning to play modern and upcoming titles.
True! Many new games are really demanding on CPUs these days. An 8-core could future-proof your rig a bit more, especially if it fits your budget.
